Real Estate Lease- Henrico

The Commonwealth of Virginia's Department of General Services, Division of Real Estate Services, is requesting proposals for a commercial office lease on behalf of the Virginia Department of Social Services for approximately 1,000 usable square feet in Henrico County, with proposals due October 12, 2026 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time.

The required space must be located in the West End of Henrico County within a five-mile radius of DSS headquarters and must include a certificate of occupancy and be ready for possession as soon as available. The tenant is DSS's Division of Licensing Programs. The Commonwealth prefers a flat, full-service rental rate covering all operating expenses throughout the lease term. The landlord must provide thirteen parking spaces included in rent, arrange five-day-per-week janitorial services, deliver turnkey tenant improvements with competitive bidding and construction management, and grant a right of first refusal on contiguous available space. The property must comply with all applicable laws and ADA requirements and be warranted free of hazardous materials and mold.

The lease term is 120 months with two five-year renewal options at ninety-five percent of prevailing market rate, not to exceed 102% of the then-current base rent. Evaluation criteria include lease costs, location suitability, operational needs, and quality factors. The Commonwealth will reimburse space planning costs if a finalist is selected, with fees ranging from $450 to $0.12 per usable square foot depending on space size. Landlords must agree to Commonwealth-standard lease terms outlined in Exhibit A and utilize the Commonwealth's standard Deed of Lease form.

Proposals may be submitted via email, fax, USPS mail, courier, or hand delivery to John Simmons at Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. (804-396-0642; John.Simmons@jll.com). Real estate transactions are not subject to the Virginia Public Procurement Act. All proposal preparation costs are the responsibility of the proposer.
